First of all, ignore the first poster.

Secondly, if you're really serious about it - you should look into getting yourself an acting coach, or signing up for some acting classes at a community center or college near you (assuming you're old enough - I don't know how old you are). Also, start auditioning around your home for plays in the community - start gaining experience right away.

In the mean time, ask a family member or a friend to take some pictures of yourself that you can send to agencies and management companies - you don't need to get expensive headshots just yet - just flattering pictures of you from the shoulders up, and a couple full length ones - a variety of facial expressions should be represented (smiling, serious, half smiling, brooding, etc.) Then, pick out the best 2 or 3 and send them to some reputable agencies, with a letter stating why you're looking for representation and why you think they should take you on as a client and so on.

ABOVE ALL, REMEMBER - NO REPUTABLE AGENCY OR MANAGEMENT COMPANY WILL ASK YOU TO BUY PICTURES FROM THEIR PHOTOGRAPHER, MAKE YOU TAKE THEIR ACTING CLASSES OR MAKE YOU PAY A FEE TO THEM FOR REPRESENTING YOU! They get paid when you get paid - agencies take 10% of your paycheck, and management companies take 15% of your paycheck.

Good luck!

first of all you should be a man (have male factor). then it's very easy to be an actor. (look at the current actors society) then you should change your sex through an expensive surgery. It makes you an actress.

you can also become an actress,,,but first you should have the confidence of facing any troubles in cine field.b
